episode 36: Ethical Pornography? Could ethical pornography play a legitimate role in secular, human rights respecting societies?
I look forward to appearing on adult content creator sites (e.g., ManyVids) and having my own adult content creator site. My future entity will even help with investment portfolios and regular syndication money and regular syndication rights for all of the people involved with it. My future entity will unite with sexual and nonsexual social justice organizations as well as fight discrimination against sex workers in the regular world of work.
"How could pornography be made more ethical? Perhaps there could be an Ethical Pornography Association (the EPA?), made up of voluntary participants in the industry, that sets its own standards for membership and certification. The standards could be formed through a direct democratic process that includes the performers of the participating production companies. They could monitor how pornography participants are selected, treated, and compensated. In return for voluntarily following regulations, pornographers could be rewarded with improved business opportunities and social acceptance. The activities that the organization will engage in could include suggesting voluntary regulations and producing an academic journal.
Suggested EPA Activities:
1. Calculating the total cost to an individual psychologically, physically, socially, and professionally when they participate in pornography.
2. Ensuring that participants are being fairly compensated and prepared for life after pornography (e.g., guaranteed minimum wage, health-care benefits and tuition reimbursement).
3. Establishing rules for how pornography is distributed so that individuals, and those they are custodians of, are not exposed to it against their wills.
4. Establish a waiting period during which a performer has the right to recall any footage they appear in, with only reasonable pre-stated penalties. Perhaps a 2–4 week waiting period during which payment and/or a deposit are withheld. Pornographers could adjust by filming scenes in ways that make them publishable even if some of the participants decline to have their footage published.
5. A work guarantee where every performer is guaranteed that they will be paid a living wage if they accept job offers for a given duration (e.g., 28k/1 year).
6. They could conduct studies of the long-term impact of pornography on sex-related crime and the physical and psychological well-being of participants and consumers.
7. Participants who are members of the association could be subjected to periodic inspections to make sure they are in compliance."
“The team of researchers has come up with a new way to capture the tiny details on the surface of various skin patches on an actor’s face at a resolution of 10 microns as they’re being stretched and deformed by a specially-designed rig. At that resolution the exact deformations of even individual skin pores are captured and using custom software, the captured data can be mapped to the artificial skin of a CG character, making the emotions of the face so realistic you can’t tell human from computer human.”
